  • Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Fancy a game of food connections, Rob.

  • So I'll name a place and you say the first food that comes to mind.

  • Ready?

  • Yeah, sure, let's go.

  • A pizza or lasagna?

  • New York?

  • Hot dogs, of course, or maybe bagels.

  • Now, how about Cornwall from the UK?

  • Oh, right.

  • If it's Cornwall, it must be the famous Cornish pasty, right?

  • That's right.

  • Cornwall, the region which forms the south-western tip of Britain,

  • is as famous for its pasties as New Yorkers for hot dogs.

  • In this program, we'll be finding out all about Cornish pasties,

  • and we'll hear how it's gone from humble beginnings to become a symbol of Cornish identity and spread around the world to Jamaica, Argentina and Brazil.
